My hands are getting ripped appart, shreading, I could do 20 or so when my hands are well. But my hands are shreaded, I tried many different gloves and I always get blisters.
Please help me, which gloves should I buy?
The only gloves that worked for me where Lonsdale neoprene gloves, these worked but fell aprart, Im looking for a longer lasting solution.
I've been jogging 45 minutes for the last 3 days because the gym here sucks and we've had awesome weather here, I can't miss that out. I can go back to a more intense bulk/lift lifestyle when I go back to dark, cold Germany
Listening to music jogging/running as the intense sun covers me with its energy is one of best things I can think of in all of the fitness cosmos, any training approach or philosohpy.
for the first time ever, I felt like I was going to achieve a complete split. I asked my friend to take video so I could do a capture, upon closer inspection, it's around 85% done but I am happy with it.
kinda offtopic but here it is:
I've been doing stretching and exercises to improve flexibility for about 18 months now. When I started I had zero flexibility, just like everybody else with no training in stuff like gymnastics, martial arts or dance.
it has taken a while, I guess a complete split will be achieveble when I hit the 2 year mark, the latest, probably earlier.
Embrace your new hands. If Sphinx can go gloveless (and he plays piano for a living) you have no excuse
Ignore the ipad, all I have right now. Started middle of the year and making good progress:
I was hoping you'd appear and comment on the split
Do you have any pics doing such flexibility moves? I can't quite recognize you in your avatar, is that you?
I can see my traps through baggy flannels and sweatshirts. I LOVE IT.

I might have to see if NYU's gyms are open. Ohhh I see. Maybe you can go ahead and make a video showing all your stretches instead of describing themI'll be honest, I've made up every single stretch move I've been doing all these months,
that or just learning from guys stretching near me and imitating them, lol.
one basic move is putting your leg (ankle) up on a high structure and lean forward to try to touch your knee with your nose, carefully.
There are many others but I'd have a hard time explaining them with words. you are better off looking on youtube or waiting till Szu makes an appearance and share his moves but if his pics are any indication, I think his stretching moves are way too hardcore for all of us but we all have to start somewhere, I guess
Anyway, this is a video my friend sent to me some time ago for leg flexibility. Unfortunately I stopped doing them after a few weeks because I was always short on time every morning due to lab research. I'll probably go ahead and do the stretch you told me and the ones in the video before bed or something. Thanks sphinx! And I shall wait for Szu.Prime rib and all the other great stuff coming up later in the day for me!
For anyone considering buying some lifting shoes, I wrote about the Adidas Power Perfect 2s on my blog: http://www.chocolatejetpack.com/post/71141420262/adidas-power-perfect-2-0-and-the-revelation-of
But cliffnote version: good shoes did for my feet what liquid chalk did for my hands/grip
